History YMMV / TheIncredibles

** The Underminer is also well-liked, due to making [[ChewingTheScenery the absolute most out of his one scene in the movie]]. The fact that he is the main antagonist of the video game, which was an example of SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames, also helps, though it took a hit when ''Incredibles 2'' [[spoiler:revealed him to be nothing more than a simple supervillain bank robber, basically making him the Bomb-Voyage of the 2nd film.]].
** There's also Kari, the babysitter from the "Jack-Jack Attack" short that ended up a BadlyBatteredBabysitter, likely for the fact that she managed to handle [[spoiler: a baby dealing with PowerIncontinence without serious injury.]]

* LesYay: The tie-in comic for ''Incredibles 2'', ''Secret Identities'' has Violet become friends with a girl with Sonic powers named Rose and their interactions are filled with this. From their names, to the reveal of Rose's abilities and Violet revealing hers being played out like a ComingOutStory, to the two sneaking out and going out at night together resembling a date, to their incredible closeness at points, to their [[spoiler:temporary falling out playing out like a break up because of Rose's father's supervillainy that nearly causes Rose to pull a FaceHeelTurn and almost lands Violet herself in jail due to being an unintentional accomplice in the father-daughter duo's crime spree, which Violet had to fight Rose herself in the middle of the School Dance to save her from her father's bad influence]]. Even if it's clearly unintentional, it's not difficult to see something in their friendship, especially if one applies the popular interpretation that [[RainbowLens superheroes are an allegory for LGBT people]] to the story. Those who have read the comic have argued that Violet ended up having far more chemistry with Rose than she did with her canonical love interest, Tony.[[note]]Speaking of, Tony is completely absent aside from a minor cameo in the beginning issue.[[/note]]

** [[ShrinkingViolet Violet]]. Her crush shyness earns her this status. She even uses finger guns in an awkward situation.

** Mezmerella seems to be the lasting legacy of the CutShort Boom! Comics. Online fandom aside, her design was charismatic enough for Disney to use her as [[http://landrywalker.blogspot.com/2011/01/mezmerella-incorporated-into.html a villain target for an Incredibles activity in the theme parks]].

** Though Gilbert Huph was clearly intended to be despised by the audience, his hammy tantrums make him so amusing to watch.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Synlet for Syndrome/Violet.

** One of the popular couplings is Mirage/Violet. They never appear on-screen together in close proximity.

* ViewerNameConfusion: Aside from people [[IAmNotShazam assuming the family's last name is "Incredible"]], some people believe the mother's superhero name is "Mrs. Incredible" because her husband's name is Mr. Incredible. It's actually Elastigirl. The only time she's referred to as such is when Mirage says "You must be Mrs. Incredible", to which Elastigirl responds by punching her in the face (granted, that was mostly because Elastigirl thought that her husband was cheating on her with Mirage). It doesn't help that a lot of merchandise for the first film referred to her as "Mrs. Incredible" due to copyright issues stemming from the fact that DC has a different character named Elasti-Girl.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Syndrome]] was once Buddy Pine, an aspiring hero seeking fame and fortune, who became outraged at all Supers when his "idol", Mr. Incredible, ceased his attempts at being a hero for his own safety. [[FromNobodyToNightmare Decades later]], Syndrome enacts his revenge, as he creates the "Omnidroid", a Super-killing machine that he uses to massacre Supers he lures in to duel it under the illusion it is simply a rogue robot. Upon capturing and torturing Mr. Incredible--notably forcing him to listen as his wife and children are seemingly killed by Syndrome's forces--Syndrome unveils his master plan to launch the Omnidroid into a highly-populated city, have it target innocents at random, then swoop in and "[[EngineeredHeroics save the day]]" to become the greatest hero in the world. When the Incredibles foil this plan, Syndrome makes one last attempt to spitefully ruin the family by kidnapping their infant child, Jack-Jack, and raising him to be a supervillain.

** Syndrome: Was his ultimate goal of a world where "everyone's super" because he wants equality, or because of the chaos people would cause with superpowers? Or just another way to spit on the real hero's graves, like his former hero Mr. Incredible? Syndrome's "when everyone's super... no one will be" suggests the latter.

* LesYay: The tie-in comic, ''Secret Identities'' has Violet become friends with a girl with powers named Rose and their interactions are filled with this. From their names, to the reveal of Rose's ablities and Violet revealing hers being played out like a ComingOutStory, to the two sneaking out and going out at night together resembling a date, to their incredible closeness at points, to their [[spoiler:temporary falling out playing out like a break up]]. Even if its clearly unintentional, it's not difficult to see something in their friendship, especially if one applies the popular interpretation that [[RainbowLens superheroes are an allegory for LGBT people]] to the story. Those who have read the comic have argued that Violet ended up having more chemistry with Rose than she did with her canonical love interest, Tony.

* FountainOfMemes: The entire movie has spawned a lot of memes by itself, but Mr. Incredible, Frozone and Syndrome are the most popular meme targets due to their [[LargeHam hammy]], over-the-top personalities.

* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: Creator/MichaelGiacchino's score was recorded on analog tape rather than digital media in order to properly replicate the 1960s feel the movie was going for and because brass instruments sound better on tape.

** Gilbert Huph, despite being a total {{Jerkass}}, is rather popular among fans thanks to Creator/WallaceShawn's over-the-top performance.

** Although Gilbert Huph is a CorruptCorporateExecutive who [[JerksAreWorseThanVillains intentionally screws over his clients to keep his shareholders rich]], his incredibly hammy tantrums have entertained lots of viewers and spawned [[FountainOfMemes a good number of Internet memes]]. Not to mention the scene where Bob throws him through office walls in a fit of rage is VERY satisfying to watch. Especially for people who've had to deal with a similar person in the workplace.

** Gilbert Huph's painful fate seems to be a warning against a boss needlessly antagonizing their employees.

** It is immensely satisfying to see Bob give Mr. Huph some comeuppance for his complete lack of compassion toward the mugging victim and being a bullying MeanBoss towards him in general. Even moreso for viewers who also have to deal with a rude employer like Huph.

!!The Franchise as a whole:
[[folder:Franchise]]

** [[http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-kid-in-The-Incredibles-that-yells-out-THAT-WAS-TOTALLY-WICKED/280500782275 The kid on the tricycle has his own fanpage.]]

** Many of the heroes who were listed as fighting the Omnidroids have a decent amount of fan fiction and/or fan art. Some standouts are Blazestone (a MotorMouth BoxedCrook once in a FireIceDuo with Frozone), Macroburst (for being the first to defeat an Omnidroid and for being described as androgynous and lacking a gender specification in their NSA file. [[note]] It's never made clear if this was a deliberate gender identity statement or an accidental side effect of their wind powers powers constantly obscuring their voice and altering their hairstyle. Also their gender was confirmed to be male in the 2018 Lego Incredibles game.[[/note]]), Hypershock (for his name, costume, and powers), and Stormicide (for some interesting powers, a good design and some of the humor in her NSA file).

* WoobieFamily: The Parr family have a hard time adjusting to a world where the use of superpowers is banned. They frequently have to move house, and family life was quite tense until they first fought as a family. In the sequel, the Superhero Relocation Program is shut down, meaning that they would have been homeless had Winston Deavor not offered them refuge. Thankfully, supers are made legal again at the end of the sequel.

** Since the movie is canonically set in the 60s, and yet Frozone seems to have no trouble being a black superhero, does this world [[PoliticallyCorrectHistory lack the racism]] of the real 60s US? Or is it just that a combination of living in the [[UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement Civil Rights Era]] and a New Yorkesque city make it easier for him than it would be for a black person in another time and place? He does seem to be the only black superhero (at least according to the [[AllInTheManual NSA records]]), so perhaps in this universe, he’s some kind of barrier-breaking icon of 60s' progressiveness. It's confirmed in the Mr. Incredible and Pals commentary that the concept of racism does exist in this universe, but to what extent it does is unknown.

** During the famous "[[Creator/SamuelLJackson WHERE IS MY SUPER SUIT?!]]" scene, Frozone's wife refusing to disclose the location of the aforementioned suit so he can't ruin their dinner plans while a giant robot is rampaging through town may or may not be SkewedPriorities. It depends on whether she knew of the robot or assumed he was going to intervene on something more minor, like a bank robbery.

* AngstWhatAngst: Despite their mother harshly admonishing them that Syndrome's henchmen [[WouldHurtAChild will not hesitate to kill them]] given the chance, Dash and Violet barely seem to be frightened or upset by this possibility. Nor do they seem to be all that upset by the henchmen who they accidentally ''kill'' during the fight scenes (it was in self-defence, and most of the guys only died from flying into walls or each other, but you'd think children would have a more intense reaction to the deaths of dozens of adults, even antagonistic ones, in violent fashion right in front of them). Dash for his part seems to be running on constant adrenaline, while Violet is more focused on making sure her powers don't fail in a case of emergency.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Helen Parr's curvaceous figure and skin-tight super suit has made her one of the film's most memorable highlights. Special mention goes to the scene where she checks herself out in the mirror.

* DracoInLeatherPants: There are many fans that downplay Syndrome as a PsychopathicManchild by justifying his behavior with "being let down by his superhero idol" or his "technology vs. super power struggle". These all ignore the [[TheSociopath cold disregard for life]] he repeatedly shows in murdering supers, launching missiles at Helen's plane with two children aboard, his EngineeredHeroics scheme that put innocent civilians in harm's way, or stealing Jack-Jack from his family. They also ignore the fact that, as a young Buddy Pine, he almost got killed by Bomb Voyage when he disrupted the fight between him and Mr. Incredible, forcing the latter to let Bomb Voyage escape in order to save Buddy. Mr. Incredible didn't reject Buddy because of some [[FantasticRacism super-to-normal racism]], but because he was just a child who was putting himself in danger. Syndrome himself was too self-assorted to realize this (as his SelfServingMemory proves).

** Some fans think/hope that perhaps some of the supers defeated by the earlier omindroids survived (after all, Gazerbeam is the only one whose disappearance is specifically commented on) and kept what happened a secret due to how they could have been arrested for hero activity. It helps that in the "Kronos Unveiled" sequence Bob himself was mistakenly marked as "terminated" on Syndrome's computer, despite being alive and well.

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Syndrome is a LaughablyEvil PsychopathicManchild whose hamminess makes him pretty memorable and entertaining to watch, even if he commits a bunch of heinous acts such as murdering dozens of superheroes or stealing a toddler from his family. Gilbert Huph, meanwhile, is shown to be a despicable CorruptCorporateExecutive who encourages his employees to avoid helping clients with their insurance claims to ensure low payouts and high profits for the stockholders. He shows a total LackOfEmpathy towards a mugging occuring right outside his window and even threatens to fire Bob if the latter tries to intervene.

** Despite being a mass-murdering sociopath, many people tend to be fascinated by Syndrome's style, characterization and overt hamminess.

** In the bonus features, Gamma Jack comes across as a borderline HateSink in the NASA Files, but his name, powers, success in defeating a past Omnidroid and a bit of humor in his Audio File make him memorable and notable to fans.

[[folder:First Film Tropes M-Z]]

* OneSceneWonder: One badass henchman on the island who fights Violet while managing to avert all the bad tropes generally associated with {{Mooks}} particularly the way he responds intelligently to Violet's invisibility.

* RealismInducedHorror: Syndrome aka Buddy Pine is a former fan of Mr. Incredible that grew up feeling slighted by his hero after he supposedly turned him away, and [[DisproportionateRetribution has since declared war against]] ''[[DisproportionateRetribution all]]'' [[DisproportionateRetribution superheroes]], [[EvilIsPetty wanting to destroy everything and]] ''[[EvilIsPetty everyone]]'' [[EvilIsPetty that Mr. Incredible in particular holds dear, out of sheer pettiness]]. He's frequently seen as a horrifying example about toxic fandom, an issue that's gotten more alarming thanks to social media making it easier for these fans to directly harass actors and other creators.
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: In terms of animation technology; this movie marked nothing less than a breakthrough in animating believably stylized humans with CGI, but when paired with its sequel (which took advantage of 14 years of advancements in character rigging and texture, motion and environment rendering), it looks considerably dated.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Creator/MichaelGiacchino's soundtrack for this movie is an {{homage}} to Music/JohnBarry's ''Franchise/JamesBond'' scores. Brad Bird initially wanted Barry to score this movie, and used Barry's theme from ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' in the teaser trailer, and used the Propellerheads remix in the actual trailer. When Giacchino was hired after Barry turned out to be unavailable, the opening fanfare for the theme he wrote closely resembles the OHMSS theme.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Mirage. While she's shown to have standards like not wanting children to be killed when Helen's plane is targeted by a missile, she still had no problems with being an accomplice to and assisting in many murders (via leading superheroes to the island to be killed). Hell, one of superheroes she lead to be killed on the island was Gazerbeam who Bob knew personally. Not only that but she also lied to Bob about everything. All of these actions make her a rather smug hypocrite because when she finally decides to work against Syndrome, it's only after her own life was at risk. Unfortunately, unlike Syndrome and his men (who were all killed), she never suffered any consequences for her actions nor does the film address them and she's EasilyForgiven in the end.
* ViewerNameConfusion: As well as people [[IAmNotShazam assuming the family's last name is "Incredible"]], some people believe the mother's superhero name is "Mrs. Incredible" because her husband's name is Mr. Incredible. Actually, it's Elastigirl. The only time she's referred to as such is when Mirage says "You must be Mrs. Incredible", to which Elastigirl responds by punching her in the face. It doesn't help that a lot of merchandise for the first film referred to her as "Mrs. Incredible" due to copyright issues stemming from the fact that DC has another character named Elasti-Girl.

** The wheel tank miniboss, which is already a long and tedious fight, is fought a total of ''five times'', two of which are back-to-back. Even worse, literally ''nothing'' about the fights change - there isn't anything differentiating the first time you fight it with the fifth time you fight it.

* UnderusedGameMechanic: As implied above, Violet only gets one level in the game, compared to every other family member who gets multiple (not that that's a bad thing). In addition, one other level has you playing as Dash inside Violet's force field like a lifesize pinball table, another mechanic which only gets used in this one stage.
